Abstract: In this paper we propose the algorithm, which is different from Daugamn’s iris recognition algorithm. In the proposed algorithm the segmentation and matching method is quite different from Daugman’s method. We segment the image by considering only boundary of pupil. The localization of pupil can be done using thresholding and plotting virtual circle of proper radius can segment the region of interest closer to pupil boundary. Normalization is done using Daughman’s rubber sheet model. To remove the intensity variation due to varying lighting condition the histogram equalization is used. Matching has done by the correlation method. Since the two dimensional correlation gives the extent of similar distribution of pixel values, it can be used to identify that iris belongs to same person or not. Recognition algorithm is implemented in MATLAB software. An experimental result shows false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) of system. According to the result we conclude that the proposed algorithm accuracy is good and it is efficient and adaptive to environment, it works well even for noisy environment, variable illumination. Key Words: Iris, Segmentation, Normalization, Correlation, Efficient Methodology: In this paper we are not using hardware for capturing an iris. The designed system has been tested on the CASIA (The Chinese Academy of Sciences – Institute of Automation) database [3]. The dataset has 756 grayscale “non-ideal” eye images that come from 108 different users with 7 images per user. Recognition algorithm is implemented in MATLAB software. MATLAB software provides an excellent rapid application development with its image processing toolbox, and high level programming methodology [1].

I. Introduction to Iris Recognition 1.1.1 The Human Iris “Fig (1.1)” shows the frontal portion of iris. It is a thin circular diaphragm, present between the carmera and the lens of the human eye. The circular aperture present at centre is called as pupil; from its center iris portion is very close. The amount of light entering through the pupil is controlled by iris through the sphincter and the dilator muscles, which adjust the size of the pupil. The average diameter of the iris is 12 mm, and the pupil size can vary from 10% to 80% of the iris diameter [1].

Fig.1.1 A front-on view of the iris. An iris recognition system has following sub systems: 1) Image acquisition 2) Image preprocessing 3) Feature Extraction and 4) Decision Making. [4]

Fig.1.2 An Iris recognition system “Fig(1.2)”elaborate the above process. The first step is capture the eye image, captured image is then undergo for preprocessing to test the quality of images, if it is good enough then first locate the iris in the captured image. If quality is not good enough then enhancement is necessary. Localization of iris is very important; if iris cannot be localized correctly then system will fail for recognition. Once the iris is localized then next step is normalization i.e. normalized into rectangular images with predefined size. Then features get extracted from the normalized images. The last stage is matching of iris, i.e. compare the feature extracted image to a image stored in database. II. Daugamn Iris Recognition “Fig (2.1)” shows Daugaman iris recognition algorithm.[2] [4-5]

Fig 2.1 Daugamn Iris recognition algorithm In the above figure, first capture the eye image of size 480X640. The first stage is segmentation in which iris region is located. Actual iris is circular region present between the outer and inner circles i.e iris boundary and pupil boundary. In order to detect these boundary, circular Hough transform is used. The segmented iris region needs to be aligned to a fixed size using normalization. Normalization is performed using Daugman‘s rubber sheet model. Feature extraction has done by 2D Gabor wavelet filters. Extracted features represents in iris patterns described by iris code .To perform the recognition two iris codes are compared. Hamming distance is used to test the statistical independence between two iris codes. [2] III. Concept of Proposed Algorithm “Fig (3.1)”shows the steps of proposed algorithm. [6] Pictorial view of this algorithm is same as Daugaman algorithm but the implementation technique in segmentation and matching is different. 3.1.1Segmentation Segmentation is the procedure in which the actual iris region separated in digital eye image. In order to implement Canny, it requires edge linking procedure using Hough transform. For each link between two points we need (n-1) n/2 no of calculation and it requires many time for linking one complete edge. Thus it reduces the speed of algorithm. In order to localize iris, complete iris is not required. So we consider the region of interest which is located near the boundary of pupil. The localization of pupil can be done using thresholding. As image is considered as a square matrix then the pixels of same value is assumed as high and rest of pixel is low. (by proper thresholding we get image shown in “Fig(3.2)(B)” and the region of interest closer to pupil boundary can be segmented by plotting virtual circle of proper radius. For virtual circle if the value of the pixels is repeated and if such pixels are more than 20 then we assume the high, else low then we get “Fig (3.3)”.

Fig 3.1 Steps of Proposed Algorithm

Fig3.2 A) Selected image B) Threshold image Using threshold image, detect horizontal diameter by making the addition of all rows, then detect those rows whose value is high, as shown in “Fig(3.4)(C)”. For vertical diameter use same technique. Once we get the both diameter it becomes easy to detect the center as shown in “Fig (3.4) (D)”. As shown in “Fig3.2 (B)” the pupil boundary is look like circular which is not exactly the circle so calculated center is not a perfect centre. For actual diameter we consider the average of the maximum range of the rows plus one then calculates the radius of the circle.

People may be captured the images in different size, that affect in recognition result. In order to become uniform size the circular pattern of iris in rectangular representation is called normalization. Normalization also reduces the distortion caused by pupil movement. Normalization has done by using Daugamn rubber sheet model [1] as shown in “Fig(.3.5)”.We unwrapped the iris ring to rectangular texture by 180 to 360 as shown in “Fig 3.6(E), (3.6)(F

That affects the further procedure such as features extraction and matching. To make uniform distribution of intensity across the whole image, The mean of each 16x16 small block constitutes a coarse estimate of the background illumination [6]. This estimate is further expanded to the same size

as the normalized image by bicubic interpolation. The estimated background illumination is subtracted from the normalized image to compensate a lighting condition. Then we enhance the lighting corrected image by histogram equalization [6] Histogram equalization image is as shown in “Fig 3.7”.

Matching In iris recognition, the matching by correlating the two normalized irises. 1.4.1Correlation The correlation is one of the most common and most useful statistics. A correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. When the images are compared with it then the correlation becomes autocorrelation. 1.4.2 Cross Correlation Cross correlation is a standard method of estimating the degree to which two series are correlated. Consider two series x (i) and y (i) where i=0,1,2...N-1. The cross correlation r at delay d is defined as [7]

Where mx and my are the means of the corresponding series. If the above is computed for all delays d=0,1,2,...N-1 .

1.4.3 Auto Correlation When the correlation is calculated between a series and a lagged version of itself it is called autocorrelation. The correlation coefficient at lag k of a series x0, x1, x2,....xN-1 is normally given as[7]

Where mx is the mean of the series. When the term i+k extends past the length of the series N two options are available.

VII. Conclusion

This paper has presented an iris recognition system, which was tested using CASIA databases of grayscale eye images in order to verify the claimed performance of iris recognition technology. According to data present in Table 3, it is clear that the proposed method is efficient as compare to other methods with accuracy of more than 90%. From Table1 and Table2 it shows that noise and illumination can not make effect on the performance. VIII. Future Scope The system presented in this paper is able to perform accurately, however there are still a number of issues which need to be addressed. First of all, the segmentation was not perfect, since it could not successfully segment the iris regions for all of the eye images in the databases. In order to become the optimize code apply this method to another database such a LEI database. An improvement could also be made in the speed of the system. The system is implemented in MATLAB, which is an interpreted language, speed benefits could be made by implementing computationally intensive parts in C or C++. Speed was not one of the objectives for developing this system, but this would have to be considered if using the system for real-time recognition
